You may be unfamiliar with the activity that takes place in slaughterhouses, then.

The other notable difference is that humans are directly responsible for slaughterhouses, and it's not a nutritional requirement.

Doesn't the fact that we can consider such things while lions cannot cement the fact that we have dominion over animals?
